Upcoming events
The networking meeting Research Data Management Reloaded: Open Data and the Future of Research Data Management in the Social Sciences and Humanities targets research data management officers of universities and research institutes in German-speaking countries. It aims to bring together such representatives for a systematic knowledge exchange. This involves a review of Open Data requirements and related infrastructure, e.g. in terms of best practice guidelines, data repositories or data registration (persistent identifiers), as well as of resources to assist researchers in processing Open Data, such as the FOSTER Toolkit or the CESSDA Data Management Expert Guide. Based on this, participants will discuss recommendations for future action and networking in order to promote research and research data of their research institutes.
Data discovery is a crucial stage in the research process, especially in the social sciences and humanities as many valuable studies have originated from secondary data.

In this 1-day train-the–trainer course, our experts will give short lectures on a topic (e.g. FAIR data principles), identify the main points students should take away, and provide lecturers with handouts and exercises to use (or adapt for use) in their classrooms. Participants will receive digital copies of the lecture notes, handouts and related materials for their own use (under Creative Commons Attribution licenses). The first half of the day will focus on theoretical aspects, including touching on new ethical and legal considerations post-General Data Protection Regulation, the concept of Open Science, and the FAIR principles. The second half of the workshop will examine practical case studies in large-scale cross-national data harmonisation and documentation, the European Values Survey including introduction to free software that digitizes variable harmonisation and documentation work and get to preview a newly built website that will archive the documentation of such work.
Participants will hear about the key issues in secondary analysis as a method.
